The New SJP?

Lipstickjungle Since Sex and the City ended in 2003, a million new shows have been touted as "the new SATC"- and none have lived up to the promise!  But the current issue of Glamour reports on something that might have real potential: a new TV show based on Candace Bushnell's Lipstick Jungle.  Melissa George (formerly of Alias, Friends and before that, tragic Angel in Home and Away) has been busy filming the pilot in L.A.   (She's Australian but has proven she can give good accent)... Also starring is Scott Cohen, who played Max Medina in the fabulous Gilmore Girls.

Obviously no-one could replace Carrie and Big, but maybe they'll be worthy successors? (Fingers crossed!)  If you've read the book, let us know what you think: will it make good TV? What do you think of the casting?

  • Furthermore, I love Melissa George.

  • I read the book and that&#39s actually quite different from "Sex and the City". That TV series was about rich thirtysomething single women in New York City. This new book is about successfull fortysomething women in crisis about their marriage or their careers.

    But, you know, the "Sex and the City" book is also really different from the TV series. So I guess "Lipstick Jungle" will be about 30sthg women, their careers and most of all, their affairs! I&#39m sure it can be great fun too.

  • Ooh! Scott Cohen! Sounds good. I haven&#39t read the book, but I&#39ve heard good things. Not sure about Melissa George though .. she&#39ll always be Angel to me.
